Walters Gardens, Inc. has been granted 554 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Walters Gardens, Inc. at rank #831 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 0 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 1.0 claims per patent. As a US Corporation, Walters Gardens, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Walters sits between Rolls-royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (555 patents, rank #827) and Inserm (institut National DE LA Santé ET DE LA Recherche Médicale) (545 patents, rank #835) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.9/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 320 grants, compared with 234 in the 2015–2019 window, a +37% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.
Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. Walters Gardens, Inc.'s 1.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 0 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Walters Gardens, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Walters's 554 grants land it in the top 81% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
